This time around I almost missed the show. When I was near the entrance, the guards told me that the show got over the previous day. Though a bit disheartened, thought I would at least take a stroll in the garden for a while. When I reached the Glass house I was in for a surprise. They were about to start the process of taking out the arrangements and most of the barriers were gone, but the main attractions were still in tact, though a bit withered.
